Speaker 1 (03:34):
Like when I'm seventy four before that Arizona, New York,
I will have two bagels a day, and I will

they're older like that, but they want to.

Get married, right. It's like rock, how you are thirty five? Yeah,
older like that for me? For me, you don't mean
it like that, but I just mean.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I think right away women know that I'm not trying
to get married, so I think that's a turn off.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So but you told me you're not one thousand percent
out on the mayor, No, not one thousand. So what
if she's thirty eight and she's beautiful, she's got life's good,

Speaker 6 (06:09):
Though, On the counterpart, if you're single for too long,
it's hard to be in a relationship, and if you're
in a relation to too long, it's hard to be single.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
It's really wild. If you get I can see that. Yeah,
because you get you the same I'm right next to me.
I'm used to having dialogue. See, you've been with the
same woman since high school? Right, No, Oh, I thought

Speaker 5 (06:36):
She picked me up and put me in my high hip. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
By the way, that you two means are going crazy
with this conversation. But what they're saying, right man, Rob,
you know you were ready for no twenty four year old.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Hey, hey, did you heard of new advertisement? You heard
that new advertisement?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Y'all?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Your boy is back, Your boy back.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That is funny, Rob, that you could be like, Okay, okay,
I'm just saying, how old are you? I'm thirty six?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Never mind? Yes, all right, Rob, g let's I'll speaking
of separations. Yeah, go all right.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
There is some scuttle but going on that despite an
eight and two record, I mean, the best team in
the NFC, that not everybody is happy in Philadelphia with
their quarterback Jalen Hurts. Longtime Eagles reporter Derek Gunn was
on Seth Joiner's post game show on Sunday night. Seth
join in front of the show starts off his conversation
(07:32):
discussing what's going wrong with the offense. You know, they're winning,
but they're not performing at the level that they had
previously and definitely not to the standard they set for themselves.
He starts off by saying, quote, those things are dissected
on film, those things are talked about amongst the quarterback, coach,
the offensive coordinator, and the head coach. And yet when
(07:52):
they transferred to on field, Hurts plays his game, not
the game the coaches wanting to play his game, they
can't get him out of it. He wants to be
very conservative, and it's frustrating a lot of ways to
the coaching staff, extremely frustrating to the players because when
they watch the film, they see what's available out there
or what could have.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Happened, and it just didn't happen.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
But from Mary took it into the stratosphere and added
something else on the back end.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
Take a listen, basically telling you there's a lot of
people in that organization that are frustrated with a quarterback
situation right now. But the quarterback understands he has them
over a barrel. This is almost Carson Went Part two.
They're not gonna eat They're not gonna eat this kind
of money. Yet there's no way they're gonna eat this
kind of money. Look at the capre they took when
he got rid of Carson. They look it took took
(08:40):
them a couple of years to get back on solid
ground again footing because they were handcut financially because of
what they ok in the capiat they took with Carson ware.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Where's the pushback? What's his name, Jerry Derrick.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Gunn, where's the pushback to that ridiculous nonsense that he
just put out there, Carson freaking wins two point zero,
Like they're going to release a quarterback who's just won
you a super Bowl, the Super Bowl that they destroyed
the Chiefs and everybody said, all you gotta do is
(09:18):
stop Saint Kwon Barkley and you can win, or the
Super Bowl that he'd be had unbelievable numbers, he outplayed
Mahomes and they actually lost that Super Bowl. Is that
the quarterback you're talking about, the quarterback that's won twenty.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Seven of the last thirty two games. Is that the
quarterback you're talking about? You're just bumping your gums just
to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Carson Wentz doesn't even belong in the same conversation. Shame
on you, and shame on anybody who was on that
show who allowed him to put Carson Wins and Jalen
Hurts on the same plateau blasphem me. One guy with
an NFL super boat call MVP. The other guy had
(10:03):
a great three quarters of a season before he got hurt.
All right, he was gonna be the MVP that year,
and I'll give it to him. But to put them
on an equal plane and say that he's two point zero,
mister Gunn Sports has a short MANU wins and losses, Dude,
(10:26):
I get you want to stir something up, my god,
and to allow him to just say it without saying,
Carson wins, he didn't win anything for Philadelphia, Go ahead
and release Jake because basically was insinuating, well, they can't
release it.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Really, Come on, Kelvin, No, that's gone too far. And
I understand. We talked to Seth Jordan, right, we had
a hybe earlier in the season. Rob you think was yeah, yeah,
both at them, Yeah, there is. I understand the frustration
with the offense. They've scored sixteen points or less and
for their last few games, handful of games, and you
(11:04):
want more. If I told you they got this amazing
receivers on the outside. They got Sakwon Barkley, they got
Jalen Hurts, who's been good throughout his career. They got
this offensive line defense and get through the ball back,
you would think they'd be better offensively. So I think
it's absolutely fair to be upset with the offense and
question it. But the idea that Jalen Hurts is just
replaceable or like we just get rid of Jalen Hurts,
I don't buy that. And as much as I've been
(11:24):
critical of at times, let's not act like there's just
another Jalen Hurts walking around there or that if you
just simply replace him, you automatically would be doing better.
I think one of the challenges is Jalen Hurts I
believe has fallen in love with some of the other
numbers for cute for quarterbacks.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
That's that's not what I'm even on. No, I know
what you're saying. That's why you can't just be like, man,
we want to get rid of him.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
If only the money wasn't you that's crazy I thought
he put out there and equate him to Carson Wentz
is blastphem me. He that's what I don't you want
to talk about it? This was left on it down there.
You could have done that. You could have made that.
Though we could go all day about every quarterback in
every situation, Jared Golf, there were plays he could have
made on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
We could do that. I'm not gonna sit here and
argue that, but to compare him the cost, And that's
why why I moved terror.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I moved on in the sense that I get the
whole point of when we were hamstrung by the money
and we couldn't get rid of him. You don't want
to get rid of jailb. Come on, you want him
to play better, but you don't want to get jurded.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
He let me pet last year.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
He's twenty two of his last twenty five games. He
has been he's been in Super Bowl a couple of times.
He's been one of the best, most highest winning percentages
since he's gotten in the league. You don't just want
to get rid of that guy. Yes, you absolutely want
to tweak some things. Here is what I think that
he wont to tweak. I do believe that he's falling
in love. I've looked a couple of things up so
(12:49):
if you look at him, I think he's enjoyed his numbers,
some of the numbers not the typical like yards and touchdowns.
I think he likes that he has the fewest interceptions
in the league right now, he only has one. I
think he loves that he has the passer rating of
one o seven, which is fifth in the league, meaning
I think he's scared to take some risks, throw some
(13:09):
passes that might get intercept that we talked about his
literary Sometimes you got to do that to make some plays.
Sometimes the receivers are going to get the most slenation. No,
it is, but I'm I'm changing. I'm saying he absolutely wins,
and I think that's not the common But that wasn't
the conversation. I hear what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
But his conversation was about if the money was.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Right, then get out of Jalen Hurts a guy who
wins in this high clip. God just won the Super
Bowl lever. We don't even have the like the ammo
to to go at that, like that's just crazy, something
different than I understand that. I'm not no one's gonna
argue with that with sixteen points a game. So that's
(13:49):
not the argument.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
But there's no argument, Rob is what I'm saying. What
do you want me to do? Argument? He Carson Wentz
and Jalen Hurts are not the same guy Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
All he does is win. He gets the postseason, he
gets to the Super Bowls. He's win to two, he
lost one, played very well in it. He won one
was MVP. So that getting rid of him is not
an option, and it doesn't automatically mean you're going to
be better. You might get some more some more numbers
like maybe they putting no more yards per game, but
(14:18):
the idea of winning, so to me, that's why I'm saying, Okay,
that's just crazy, and maybe there's a way to tweak
it so you get back to kind of maybe the
productivity you want from him. Because the idea that you're
getting rid of Jaying Hurts is crazy is asini And
I understand the frustration at times, but you're not getting
rid of a guy who wins at that clip.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
That's crazy, all right?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Did you have
a problem with the Eagles reporter comparing Jalen Hurts to
Carson Wentz. I mean, talk about lazy. That's lazy. We'll

Okay, andre in Massachusetts, you're on the couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
What's up? Dray right? Oh, hold on, hold on time
here rog Yeah, go ahead, buddy.
Speaker 11 (18:36):
We got reporiders out here ripping Jalen Hurts. Based on
the fact that this this is Philly, This is a
city of Brutherley Love with a bootstand across this is
this is a city where they had to bring a
courthouse into the stadium because they had so many shenanigans
going on in the state. They had to bring a
courthouse with a with a judge, a magistrate in this.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
I know they had a jail layer as well.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
The whole people I get all that, Drey, Come on,
Carson Wentz, he didn't win anything.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
You can't put those two in the same sentence. That's
my pushback.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
You want to complain about the offense and it could
be better, and you have some weapons and Saquon they
got to figure out how to run them better this
year than he did last year.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
You could talk about all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Carson Wentz and Jalen Hurts do not belong in the
same conversation.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
And that's my only argument.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And that's what makes it weird though, the insinuation that
they would want to release him, that's what it was
because of the contrace. Yes, and to me that that's
that's crazy, Like, yes, he hasn't played well, but the
idea that you were just, oh, well, he can.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Go the guy who helped you win the Super Bowl
last year with.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Is that the guy and again the same guy who
got you in the postseason before and got He's been
nothing but really good as far as leading that team. Yes,
there's left to be desired, but you ain't releasing him.
Come on, man Whitney in Philly. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up Whitney?
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Hello, Hi, How are you guys doing doing great? How
are you?
Speaker 11 (20:02):
I'm good thinking. I just want to say that they're
done and seth doing it on both liars and not
believable and making up stuff on the eaves and jal
Yalen isn't going on where neither is Ay.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Just get over all right?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
She said, I don't know about lives bad information, but
my goodness, lives we have seth On.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
We could talk to them. I just don't.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
The other guy Gunn who said that, I just that's
when I'm offended, not about it.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
You complain all you want about the offense, okay, and
talk about all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
But but I just, rob Gie, what's the sentiment? Like,
I mean, I was wishing we had seth On or
they just the last two weeks?
Speaker 5 (20:41):
You know what they just did, the Green Bay Packers
and the Lions. Sorry that from Philly got me going,
Am I right or wrong? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
But it don't look good. That's that's sixteen points with
that team? Is the look with six points?
Speaker 7 (20:58):
But you know what's funny is in the in the
pantheon of sports talk, you would watch a team like
the Bills and say, hey, they ran up forty four
points on the Bucks.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
They're obviously one of the best teams.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
And then they'll have an inexplicable loss to somebody, right
or the Ravens, that was them the last.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
Three or four years.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
But if you're the Broncos and you win by one point,
and you're the Eagles and you got nine all pros
and you scored seventy points a game, I don't care.
If you're eighting two, I'm like, there's something wrong with
that team. I'd much rather think a six and four
team that every once in a while puts on a
good show is a better team.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I just think we've seen them. It's not like they
don't score points. It was just they don't score points.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
Anymore and score They haven't scored one of the seventy
points at four of their last six games.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Yes, but they scored up there's a couple of games
they had thirty better than a couple of games.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
No, But my point is like, it's not like they
haven't scored over thirty points.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
In the watch the Lions, they couldn't get anything gone.
The Lions had six points.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
With three how many short feels that they get because
the Lions went for it on fourth down and they
just coach, that's your come. I ain't lying about you.
And that's two separate conversations, Coach, that's what you got. Goodness,
it's okay for me to say to me, it's okay
for the people to say, what's going on that we
can't produce with skill, so that you can't do.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
The wrong with No, Yes, sir, there's something wrong to
talk about Jalen Hurts and Carson Wentz.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Would you leave that alone? No, that's the part that
I have the issue with. All right, talking about releasing him.
We'll argue about that later, my goodness.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:28):

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Appreciated our couple, Robin Kelvin on a trash talking Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
On the way, we got last call.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
But right now we are joined by our guy, Mark
Funky co Medina, Fox Sports Radio and essentially Sports NBA
insider Mark g Underscore Medina.
Speaker 12 (23:03):
What's up, Mark Calvin, I'm currently watching Lebron James take
some threes.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
So far, so good?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Or is he playing?
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Go?
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Is he playing?
Speaker 9 (23:14):
You know?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
J J.
Speaker 12 (23:14):
Reddick was trying to be coy, saying game time decision
betraying the right direction. They just finally made it official.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
All right, Well back his debut or day. But as
Rob would say, it's gonna.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Be y Rob.
Speaker 12 (23:26):
There's some tickets I think I will call for if
you want to come down.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, I'm getting Yeah, you can't wait front row. Yeah, okay,
but you gotta wear Lebron jersey.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
That's not happening, but I'm gonna anyway. What do you
expect to happen? Let's just go here with the Lakers
in that they had something nice going. Now Lebron's gonna
come in. There's no way keep it as it is
and lebrono just kind of melting figures way in or whatever.
That's going to change. How much of a difference do
(23:56):
you think it'll make having Lebron in the mix?
Speaker 12 (23:58):
That's the ultimate question, because I think on one hand
he can be plug and play because of his Hall
of fame resume, but there's also going to be long
term things for a number of reasons. One his hell,
how much of a workload can he tolerate? Maybe he
doesn't have an adjustment because of his background, but how
does Luca adjust? How does Austin Reeves adjust the entire rotation?
So I think there's going to be low hanging for
(24:20):
an instant impact as far as production, but team chemistry,
I think this is going to be a big time
work in progress. And you know, talking to some different coaches, scouts,
doctors away from the Lakers, they all think that short
term there's going to be a lot of adjustments with
managing his workload getting the Russ off. You know, he
was saying he has, you know, the lungs of a
(24:42):
breath of a young baby here. I mean he hasn't
played basketball over a month and he's forty years old,
so it's going to take time.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
That's what makes it interesting. I read that when you know,
I saw that when he said he his lungs are
doing good. But on the flip side, you ain't played
basketball so at that age that might set you back.
So may ye your lungs, you know, you're rested but
that also can set you back trying to get back
in shape. Let me ask you this, when you look
at what the Lakers have right now, how much of
this do you believe is real? How much of him
rise as Austin ree is gonna be avtered in almost
(25:11):
thirty a game? Is can Luca going to keep nearly
forty games? How much is or is just the beginning
of the season.
Speaker 12 (25:16):
Well, I think that inevitably those numbers are going to
drop because this player named Lebron James is coming back.
I think what has been real is that Lucas playing
at his best basketball team in the lost Austin Reeves.
They have good role players, but can it sustain through
an entire NBA season? I don't think only because of
wall of diminishing returns, But I think what the Lakers
(25:38):
have established is that they are in that second tier
in the Western Conference. It's okay see and everyone else.
They're a well oiled machine, even with some of the
injuries they've had, most notably to Jaylen Williams and Lou drf.
But I think that this Lakers team, with or without
Lebron can get to the second round. But that's probably
the ceiling moving forward.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Will Bronnie be released to make room for Lebron?
Speaker 12 (26:03):
I'm sorry, Rob, I think that Lebron and Bronnie are
essentially switching spots. Bronny was starting while Lebron.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Was in the G League.
Speaker 12 (26:13):
I think now it's going to be the other way around.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
So is Bronnie going to the G League? Is that
what's happening?
Speaker 4 (26:19):
You know?
Speaker 12 (26:19):
I said that for the punchline. I think it and
earn reality, He's not going to go to the G League.
He'll just be making himself comfortable on the Lakers bench.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
The other thing I guess is when you look at
JJ Reddick this year. I know last year there was
some issues.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
With what is it makes?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Mostly like the second half of games right coming out
at third quarter, So the third quarter was.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Really bad for him. As he made adjustments, has he
toned it down a little bit?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Uh? Because he's so high strung and where is everything
on his you know, sleeve or whatever as he adjusted
at all?
Speaker 12 (26:57):
As he's saying the same, well, I think he's the
same person, but I think that he subdued like the
extreme reactions with both wins and losses. I think and Rob,
I know you're going to disagree here because you're cootooing
as Coach of the Year candidacy last season, But I
think he has done a good job in putting role
players in a position to succeed and shielding them from
(27:19):
their weaknesses. You know, in all seriousness, that doesn't mean
he's going to be a Coach of the Year.
Speaker 11 (27:25):
But I think that he's.
Speaker 12 (27:26):
Making the best of what the roster has. But I
think that managing Lebron it's its own challenge because you're
trying to, on one hand, have him be very conservative
because of his health, but you're doing with the superstar
player that has never been a fan of minutes restrictions.
You're also trying to manage a player that will likely
(27:49):
have to be the second or third most important player
on the team. And even though when I asked Lebron
James last yesterday, how would he compare it contrast what
he think his role will be, and he says, Hey,
I'm a ballplayer. I can fit in on any team.
It's one thing to not worry about being the all
time leading score on a team, but you still have
(28:10):
to be a focal point for him to be third,
fourth option. I think that could be a real hard
adjustment for him, given obviously his resuval.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Hey, Mark fucking Comdina our guest right now, Mark Medina
of course, Sports Fox, Sports Radio and essentially Sports NBA Insider.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Are the league.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
How everybody was excited to see winby the first few
weeks slowed down a little bit, but overall averaging like
twenty seven and twelve or thirteen something crazy.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Now he's out for a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
What are you making this injury that they're saying that
there'd being a little overly costious, But how with the
spurs and kind of the league dealing with this?
Speaker 12 (28:42):
Yeah, well the starts haven't given the timeline on the
left calf string. But left calf strings are always dice
the injuries because if you rush a player back from
that kind of injury, that often leads to the Achilles injury.
We can look at Kevin Durant in twenty nineteen, Damian
Lillard last season. It doesn't necessarily guarantee it, but there's
always a correlation. So I think when you look at
(29:05):
the average amount of games that a player misses with capturings,
it's usually in the eight to twelve games it's not
season ending, but they're not going to put a timetable
because they know that it should compound to something even
worse that is season ending or even career alter.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yeah, and that's always a thing with Wemby. I think
we've talked about it before. I think that if anything,
just guys, he's slight of build and his height just
always seem to wind up some sort of injury or
something there, you know, like long term. And I know
it's early in his career, but this is something to
look out for, right, isn't.
Speaker 12 (29:42):
It without a doubt? I mean when I talked with
different draft gurus that work for different for an offices
before he was drafted number one, they would to go
so far and say, oh, yeah, he's injury prone, watch out.
But they did say it's going to take him at
least three years to build into his body, adapt the physicality,
(30:03):
reduce the likelihood of having these kind of soft tissue injuries.
And guess what, guys, he's still in his third season
and must missed the second entire second half of his
second season because of the blood clock. So he's still
round in the form with his body and just get
used to the wear and tear of opponents, and the
wear and terror of an eighty two game schedule.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Right, Mark Man, we appreciate answered this question real quick.
I just asked Rob, we can get a little little tiff.
Who's coming out the east?
Speaker 12 (30:33):
Oh? Good question. I think it's Cleveland. It's there's the lose.
They got it mostly everyone back. Yeah, they've unfinished business right.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
There, You have it appreciated your own did not say
he did not say. No, Mark, did Detroit Piston's Homer
things they went in the championship?
Speaker 3 (30:48):
No?
Speaker 5 (30:48):
No, no, no, okay, okay, seas that that ain't question.
So you got let's bet Jordan's there not coming out
of the east.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
You want to do it, let's do it. I'm doing
come on, let's make that bet. I'm in football most here,
I'm in football. He was all, he had a shot.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Stuck guy. If you said this, if you take the
same bet with the bucks, I'll take that.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
No.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
No, you're the one who's so hot on it. You're
so first of all, hot and heavy. It is crazy.
